Fast Forward…

October 25, 2010

What if we could “fast forward” and see ourselves enjoying the successes we have been wanting to attract for so long?

I wonder how much abundance would flow in…

What if you could fast forward into the future and imagine yourself with all the abundance you have been hoping for – yes, imagine yourself with the luxuries, the ideal mate, the home, the spiritual fullness and everything else you have been desiring. What would that feel like to you?

We keep saying we want all these things on our “list” but how would we feel if we actually got them? The fast forward exercise is great to help you identify what might be your blocks to getting everything you have been working towards with EFT and Law of Attraction.

The truth is that we all have multiple desires, and would love our lives to be different – more successful, more abundant, more loving – but when we fast forward and actually pretend we’re there, sometimes we’re not as happy as we thought we might be… curious but true!

So try it – fast forward – imagine you are there right now, in that new house, with that ideal mate, with all the luxuries, with the published book, the business partnerships, with the peace and quiet, engaging in your beautiful spiritual rituals and enjoying your life completely… now what? Is it as good as you hoped it would be?

This newsletter is yet another opportunity to clear any of your conflicts about being outrageously abundant in every part of your life. Are you ready to do some clearing?

Notice if you feel uncomfortable with anything in this “future” of yours. Notice if you feel awkward with any of the successes that showed up in this fast forward future… notice what surfaces that doesn’t feel right. Then answer these simple questions and write down any “AHA” insights you have about this fast forward process.

(1) What’s the “downside” to fast forwarding and being able to imagine yourself enjoying abundance?

(2) What’s the “upside” to remaining in the “not there yet” state? (Consider what might be a positive aspect that comes with staying where you are, something good that might result from not changing…)

(3) How does it serve you to refuse to imagine yourself happy and joyful with what you want?

These are all powerful questions that I recommend you answer as best you are able… once you know the upside of not yet getting what you want, you can tap on the blocks and change your energy to enjoy congruence and success.

The reason this process is so important is that we often ignore (because we don’t know better) what our blocks are, and then we get incredibly frustrated by not getting what we want, but don’t know what to do to clear what’s in our way!

You may want to review two of my favorite recent newsletters, Energetic Invitations and Complete Congruence. Combine their messages with this week’s topic, Fast Forward and make a profound shift in each day you get to experience in this lifetime.

Every possible reason you might have to not being comfortable with the you in your future by the fast forward process is a “tappable issue” with EFT. So what may be your blocks to being entirely comfortable with all your successes you keep dreaming about?

Here’s what I know… People who are able to“fast forward” and imagine themselves withthe abundance that they want are able toattract more success and abundance!

So it’s time for the yes, but section of my newsletter to help identify what we need to clear out of our energy systems with EFT. Here are some typical yes, buts that surface when I ask people to consider what it would be like to fast forward and actually be “there” now with all the abundance and successes:

(1) Yes, but… I don’t have what I want yet, so why pretend that I have it? Because pretending is a wonderful way to trigger your imagination, activate the Law of Attraction in your favor, and discover any blocks that have been hiding from your conscious awareness.

(2) Yes, but… I don’t want to get my hopes up by playing this fast forward game, I’m sure it won’t work for me. If you’re “sure” it won’t work for you, this is a tappable issue. If you are afraid of getting your hopes up, this is yet another tappable issue, and also tells you that you are not using another great tool – boosting your expectations.

(3) Yes, but… I don’t feel safe when I think of having all of that abundance in my life, so “feeling it” through the fast forward process doesn’t feel right! Why don’t you feel safe when you think of having all that abundance and all those successes in your life? What are you protecting?

(4) Yes, but… I’m afraid I’ll feel silly or awkward pretending I’m enjoying the abundance I want in my life. Who will know? Go ahead, fast forward for a few minutes a day, in a delightful daydream, and tap on any feelings of awkwardness. Pretending can be fun and incredibly useful.

The good news is that you can treat whichever yes, buts you have with basic EFT tapping!

In my newsletters, I like to include the benefits I have found to what I am proposing to my readers. Below are my favorite benefits of being able to fast forward into your future to enjoy all your abundance and success.

(1)Being able to fast forward and pretend you have what you want, and more importantly, that you are completely enjoying it, will get you in congruence with what you want.

(2) Playing with Law of Attraction by “fast forwarding” and acting as if you are already enjoying all the abundance you want will instantly raise your vibration and help you enjoy every day as you move towards receiving what you want. (Remember, the Law of Attraction “hears” your vibration, not your words, so imagine what it will “hear” when you are already practicing being in the state of abundance you want!)

(3) Being able to fast forward and act as if you are enjoying abundance will help you feel joyful right now, so you don’t have to wait as long to experience it in real life!

(4)Being able to fast forward and notice what comes up as “resistance” will allow you to treat yourself with EFT and clear any remaining blocks to getting what you want.

As Law of Attraction teachers say — it’s all energy. So change your energy by being inspired to get into your future with the fast forward process. It will automatically invite the Universe to help you create more abundance right now.

Raise your vibration by choosingto “fast forward” and enjoy the abundanceyou want in your life before it even gets here!

Remember, the Law of Attraction sends you situations that have the same energy of the vibration you are putting out… so when you are already feeling joyful by practicing being with all the abundance you want, the Universe will bring you more opportunities for abundance.

Below you will find EFT/ Meridian Tapping setup phrases to help you be inspired to release your blocks to being able to fast forward into your abundant future.

While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).

“Even though I’m not comfortable playing the fast forward game, I accept who I am and how I feel.”

“Even though it feels like a waste of time to fast forward into an abundant future, I accept all of me anyway.”

“Even though I’m afraid to feel that good before it really happens, and then get disappointed, I accept who I am anyway.”

I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)

***Now for the phrases that focus on the problem***

Eyebrow: “I’m afraid to fast forward into my future.”Side of Eye: “What if the abundance never comes?”Under Eye: “I don’t want to get my hopes up.”Nose: “I don’t feel safe with all that abundance I have been dreaming about.”Chin: “Part of me is afraid to imagine it right now.”Collarbone: “I’m afraid it won’t happen for me.”Under Arm: “What if I never attract it into my life?” Head: “I guess the truth is I have blocks to some of my abundance.”

***Now for the positive focus on the solution***

Eyebrow: “What if practicing with fast forwarding helps attract it?”Side of Eye: “I want to be congruent with all the abundance I want.”Under Eye: “I choose to enjoy the feelings I have when I fast forward.”Nose: “I intend to practice being in my future with all my abundance.”Chin: “I choose to be congruent with my incredibly abundant future!”Collarbone: “I’m ready to fast forward and enjoy what I see and feel!”Under Arm: “I appreciate the abundance as I fast forward into my future.”Head: “I love feeling happy in my fast forwarded life of abundance.”
